Where to find cheaper japanese assorted rice cake gift boxes in Tokyo?!


Question: Where to find cheaper japanese assorted rice cake gift boxes in Tokyo?
I'm looking for the ones that are similar to the ones sold at Narita Airport duty free FaSoLa section. I know Ahkihabara has a duty free shop but it sells the same items. Is there anywhere else cheaper? The typical price at NRT airport is 600 - 1200 Yen per box. I'm also looking for dolls dressed in kimono on a stand (those that some people encase in a glass case when they go home).

Answers:

which can range from 10-1000 US per doll depending on who made the doll and it is past on from generation to generation, whenever a new girl was born into the family and new one is added.
